Yang Liu was worried that her parents wouldn't be able to adapt after arriving, so she moved all her things in and lived with them.
It was convenient for the children to go to school, but Chu Yue had to go far to school. She was afraid that he would be too lazy to go every day, so she let him live there alone.
But the man was not willing to do so, and in the end the whole family moved in.
Moreover, the wood and stone have grown bigger now, and they especially like to hang around the cypress and poplar trees.
In the past, the two brothers would look for their mother everywhere after school, but now they look for their uncle everywhere.
The children are not as attached to her as before, which makes her feel empty inside.
Yang Liugang went to the breakfast shop to check this month's accounts with the person in charge there, then went to take a look at the clothing store, thinking that he would come back when it was time for dinner.
Now that things in the small workshop were getting busy, Yao Caiying went over to help pack the clothes, while the brothers Yang Guoqing and Yang Junqing were responsible for delivering the goods.
Cooking fell on Li Qiuhuo alone, but in order to reduce her burden, Yang Guoqing would buy the vegetables before delivering the goods every day. It was more convenient for him to ride a bicycle, so she didn't have to carry all these things for such a long distance and get tired.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw her mother watering the open space. It seemed that she was preparing to plant vegetables.
"Mom, now that Second Aunt has passed away, there's no one to help you. It's already tiring enough for you to cook for so many people by yourself. How can you still grow vegetables?"
"Why are you back at this time? Have you eaten?"
"I have to go to a parent-teacher conference for the two brothers this afternoon. I just went to the store for a while and came back without any business."
Seeing that she was sweating profusely from walking, Li Qiuhe went in again to pour her a cup of tea, and then continued to hoe the ground.
"Why should I be tired? Besides cooking, I don't do anything else every day. Growing some vegetables can help me pass the time. Besides, I'm used to being busy at home. If I really have nothing to do, I'll feel uncomfortable all over."
Yang Liu also knew that they were used to working in the fields and it would be difficult for them to change their habits in a short time, so she could only let them do as they pleased.
But today she came back and just helped her mother wash the vegetables.
Six dishes are cooked every day, all packed in large lunch boxes. When it is time for dinner, Yang Guoqing will ride his bike back to get them.
He will bring the lunch box back after get off work in the evening.
For people who are used to doing the work, it is actually not particularly tiring.
"Mom, if you and Dad feel tired, you can't just hold on. You must tell me."
She asked her parents to come over not to work for her, but mainly to let them enjoy themselves.
Li Qiuhe was rolling noodles and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Your father and I have something to do every day like this, and we feel very at ease. Besides, we can still be polite to you."
After lunch, she took a nap at home before going to school to attend a parent-teacher meeting for the two brothers.
The main reason is that the new semester has been going on for more than a month and summer is coming soon. The school is organizing a spring outing and wants parents to go and share their opinions.
Some parents would like the school to hold more such activities, while some parents think it is a waste of money and unsafe.
Yang Liu thinks that children should participate in more extracurricular activities like this when they are young, but safety must be guaranteed.
Then I asked the teacher about the two brothers. The teacher said that they were quite smart, but Shi Tou was a little naughty.
Last time, he was caught absent-minded in class and was called upon to answer a question. He was afraid of embarrassing himself by not being able to answer, so he asked Mu Tou to answer for him.
The teacher didn't notice it in class, but only discovered it when he saw them packing their textbooks after school.
Yang Liu thought silently in her heart that it seemed that she couldn't always let the two brothers wear exactly the same clothes in the future.
If they just sit there and don't talk, it would be difficult for people who are not familiar with them to recognize them.
There is a parent-teacher meeting today, so school is dismissed early.
Shitou held his mother's hand and asked, "Mom, I'm hungry. Can you buy me some snacks?"
Yang Liu gave him a dollar and said, "Buy one for your brother too."
The little guy took the money and ran away.
After he ran away, Yang Liu asked, "Mu Tou, you must not answer questions for your brother anymore. You are not helping him, you are harming him. If he can't recognize his own problems, he won't be able to correct his mistakes in time."
Mu Tou nodded: "Mom, I understand. It's just this once. I won't do it again."
"By the way, is there anything you want to eat tonight? Mom will go buy it for you."
"Dad's been working really hard lately, why don't you go buy him some meat to nourish him."
Yang Liu rubbed his head and thought that he was really a good son to his father.
If she tries to nourish him, she will be the one who suffers in the end.
After Shitou came back with the biscuits and fruit leather, she took them to the nearby farmers' market and bought a fresh grass carp, then a chicken, and when she came back, she bought a roast duck.
Shitou bit into the fruit leather and looked at the sizzling roast duck, his eyes sparkling. "Mom, is there something happy today? Why did you buy so much meat?"
In his impression, it seemed that every time there was a happy event in their family, they would prepare particularly sumptuous dishes.
"Reward for your excellent performance in school."
Shitou immediately understood the hidden meaning behind his mother's words. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again."
"Admitting one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue. I hope you can do what you say."
When Yang Liu educates her children, she actually treats them more as friends instead of blaming them from a moral high ground. Children are playful when they are young, and there is no need to make a big deal about harmless things, but they must understand what is right and wrong.
After returning home in the evening, Yang Liu cooked herself and made a boiled fish fillet, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, and also fried a side dish. In short, it was a very rich meal.
When they got home and saw the table full of food, they were all surprised. Yang Junqing even asked, "Why is the food so good tonight?"
"Uncle, we know you've worked hard over the past month, so we're giving you a special treat."
Yang Nan also helped to set the table and said with a smile, "Okay, stop keeping me in suspense."
After everyone was seated, Yang Liu stood up, raised her glass, and said, "Thanks to the help of my parents and my second uncle and aunt, our clothing store's net income has quadrupled this month. Isn't that something to be happy about?"
"Really? Liu'er, you are not kidding us, are you?" Yao Caiying was also full of doubts.
I was stunned by such good news.
It feels like they don't do anything, just help run errands and do some odd jobs, so how can they play such a big role?
